Vitamins and Herbs for Lucid Dream Induction
It has long been known that the B-Vitamins have an energizing affect on the mind (and body), due to their role in cellular metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis. When combined in the right ratios with other vitamins and minerals, Vitamin B5 and B6 are especially useful for stimulating the dreaming system, and they can be used as a nutritional aid for lucid dream induction.
A time-tested combination for getting "more out of sleep," and for increasing the vividness of dreams is something known as ZMA. This dietary supplement contains Zinc monomethionine aspartate and Magnesium Aspartate along with Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride). ZMA formulas often contain melatonin and an herb or two to further help with getting a deep sleep. Bodybuilders have used ZMA to aid in muscle repair and synthesis from weight-training. Well, although studies have not concluded that ZMA in fact makes you stronger or gain any more muscle than if you hadn't taken it, it does have certain noticeable effects: ZMA often induces vivid dreaming, and therefor is a viable option as a lucid dream induction supplement when combined with a "critical awareness" program.
I say this time and time again: Increased dream activation likely means scarier and more disturbing dreams. Be prepared for that, and use this knowledge as a means to identify and recognize dream signs.
